Just sign CCC as the jersey supplier FFS! Having said that new Jersey doesn't look bad though

I love Canterbury's work, but I'd much prefer RA take it to market and get the best possible deal, while also ensuring it's a great jersey. Just defaulting to a traditional supplier is going to leave a hell of a lot of money on the table, and that's not something they can afford to do.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Canterbury have been hit and miss with the Wallabies. The obvious classics of the 91 but then the monstrosity of 07.

Go to market and get the best deal as Wilson says.

Hold firm on jersey rules. Tradition is something sports fans love. Then go nuts with all the other gear. For a WC people will be buying it for themselves, kids and gifts.

Never heard of Castore, but they are really not getting good feedback from the Euro crowd on other parts of the internet

Aston Villa and Newcastle united both got out of their deals early due to the absolute substandard Castore was producing. Hopefully they have improved

 

[Upthemaroon!]

I like the design but hate Castore. Their quality control is nonexistent. Anyway, hopefully it was cheap so there is some more money available for grassroots.

Could this be our biggest backline ever? (not cutting out Wright and Jorgo, just looking at potential players)

Zac lomax 190cm/105kg

Petaia 190cm/103kg

MM 192cm/100kg

Sua'ali'i 196cm/98kg

Carter Gordon 189cm/93kg

Ikitau 182cm/96kg

 

[Dctarget]

We probably had this at one stage: Hodge, DHP, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Maddocks, Folau. That's probably bigger.

vs South Africa, home venue TBC — 27 September is 1 day after the AFL Grand Final you can probably rule out Rugby Australia fixturing it in Melbourne

NRL will have the big stadiums booked for semi finals as well (on Friday and Sunday?)

Probably makes Perth a very good bet, particularly with nothing scheduled there yet.

 

[rugbyAU]

SA is very likely Perth, Italy likely AAMI Park

Anyone know when Wallaby squad announced for next get together? I heard soon.

 

[Grandmaster Flash]

We probably had this at one stage: Hodge, DHP, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Maddocks, Folau. That's probably bigger.

Also test against the Poms in 2003 with Nathan Grey at 10, Turinui at 13, Sailor at 14, Latho at 15 and Roff at 11. Only small(ish) bloke was Steve Kefu at 12 (90-odd kg).

Yes we need some larger guys
Really hoping petaia comes back firing and pushed for a wing spot and also Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) coming will assist with some size

even Tom wright must be close to 100kg now

Sua'ali'i is a lot bigger then those numbers for weight - must be close to 105-107kg now
Even Marky M (Nawaqanitawase) would be more 104kg ish
